Bought an afternoon tea hamper for two…

Bought an afternoon tea hamper for two for my daughter, she absolutely loved it! Delivery was by DPD which was great, have used this company many times before over the years & their hampers & cakes have always arrived on time & are delicious. Would recommend

Excellent products

I have ordered several times from Piglets Pantry for myself & as gifts for friends & family & every time the products have been of excellent quality, extremely well packaged & presented . Unfortunately the delivery company they used let them down this last time , but after contacting them I was sent a replacement hamper straight away which came as promised & was totally delicious. I highly recommend Piglets pantry & will definitely be using them again.

Vegan Afternoon Tea and Pie Box

I ordered the vegan afternoon tea and vegan pie box for a birthday afternoon for my partner. The presentation is lovely, and as a vegan, there is not much companies who offer afternoon tea set like this; that includes savories. I am recently housebound and disabled, so this was the only way I could quickly receive an afternoon tea. The afternoon tea and the pies were extremely lacking in flavour, almost as if all of the savouries had been either completely boiled to the point of no flavour or the ingredients were frozen prior to cooking. I don't know, but I am very disappointed and ruined a birthday afternoon I had planned 💔.

The delivery was sent by DPD who are usually a very terrible, unreliable company deliveries, nevermind for scheduled deliveries, however came on time. If I had known prior that the delivery company was DPD, I wouldn't have ordered.

Avoid!!

Ordered weeks ago for a delivery yesterday for my mothers birthday today. Having recieved no DPD tracking yesterday I called customer service and was assured the order was confirmed and due to be delivered yesterday, to wait and that I could turn up any time until 8pm. No order arrived.

I have called customer service again this morning and been advised due to an "error" the order was intact never placed and as such would not have been delivered yesterday. I questioned why exactly I was misinformed yesterday and how this would be remedied, it is infant my mother's birthday today and we now have no food. I recieved a half arsed apology and an offer to deliver on Monday when nobody is available as we are all working. I personally would avoid at all costs, save your money and spend it somewhere you will actually recieve the service you pay for!

The delivery has not arrived

The delivery has not arrived. I am being offered a new delivery date almost 2 weeks after the original one. Trying to get an answer out of them has been a nightmare. Automated message after automated message. Blaming it on DPD and barely an apology in sight.

I have a feeling they have charged me again for the new delivery. 🙈🙈🙈

Do not use this company

Hello,

We’re really sorry to read this and understand how frustrating delays and unclear communication can be.

We’d like to reassure you that it isn’t possible for us to charge a customer twice for a replacement delivery, and no duplicate charge has been taken. We’re sorry if this wasn’t explained clearly at the time and if our responses felt automated.

Due to a recent increase in enquiries, we’ve also brought additional team members on board to help manage email volumes and improve response times.

We fully accept that our communication should have been clearer and more personal, and we apologise for the frustration this has caused.

If you’d prefer to speak to someone directly, our phone lines are open Monday to Friday, 9am–4:30pm, and our team will be more than happy to help if assistance is still required.

Kind regards,
Team Piglets Pantry

Delivery failure & non-existent customer service

I ordered an afternoon tea delivery to celebrate the birthday of a 91 year old relative. Despite the delivery date being confirmed and my account debited, the order has not been dispatched or delivered. Numerous calls have gone unanswered and no refund has been provided.

Hi,

We’re very sorry to read this and are genuinely disappointed that this order did not arrive as expected — especially as it was intended to celebrate such a special birthday. We completely understand how upsetting this must have been.

From what you’ve described, it does sound like there has been a courier delivery failure, and we’re very sorry that this wasn’t identified and resolved more quickly.

We’d also like to clarify that we have responded to all emails received, so if you sent one you would have had a response from us. Due to a recent increase in enquiries, we’ve taken on additional team members to help manage communications and improve response times, but we recognise this hasn’t prevented your frustration and we sincerely apologise.

If an order has not been dispatched or delivered, a refund or resend would of course be due, and we’d very much like the opportunity to urgently look into this and resolve it properly for you.

Our phone lines are open Monday to Friday, 9am–4:30pm, or you can email us at info@pigletspantry.co.uk, and a member of the team will be happy to help.

Kind regards,
Team Piglets Pantry

A present bought for my parents

A present bought for my parents, and they are delighted with the gift. The courier service was reliable and courteous to my elderly mum. I needed to contact Piglets Pantry, and although did take several missed calls, they were very helpful. But overall excellent experience.

We also really appreciate your patience when getting in touch — while we’re always working to improve response times, we’re very pleased our team was able to help when you spoke with us.

Thank you again for choosing Piglets Pantry, and we hope to help with another special occasion in the future 💛

Hi,
We’re really sorry to read this and understand how disappointing it is when a delivery doesn’t arrive as expected.

We’d like to clarify that we have already responded to all messages received. If you’re unable to see our reply, we’d recommend checking your spam or junk folder, as occasionally emails can land there. We would never ignore a customer enquiry.

If you still need assistance, our phone lines are open Monday to Friday, 9am–4:30pm, and a member of the team will be happy to look into this for you. You can also email us directly at info@pigletspantry.co.uk.

Due to a recent increase in enquiries, we’ve employed additional team members to support communications and improve response times, and we appreciate your patience while we resolve this.

We appreciate you raising this and hope we can help resolve it for you promptly.

Kind regards,

Absolutely terrible customer service

Absolutely terrible customer service. Do not buy a voucher! You can’t redeem it and they ignore your emails. I had a third party voucher but the website stated it didn’t recognise it. I have emailed them five times and have had no response. I ended up ordering a different product with the third party. If I hadn’t have used the third party I’m pretty sure I’d be out of pocket. I wouldn’t trust them.

Hello,

We’re sorry to read this and disappointed that your experience led to a loss of trust.

We did encounter a technical issue with online voucher redemption, which we appreciate would have been frustrating. During this time, vouchers could still be redeemed by contacting our team directly via email, and we’re sorry if this wasn’t resolved fast enough.

We’d also like to clarify that we do respond to all emails received. Due to a recent increase in enquiries, we’ve employed additional team members to support the volume of admin and communications and improve response times.

While we regret that this experience affected your confidence in us, the voucher itself remained valid and redeemable, and we would have been happy to assist further had you wished to continue with us.

Kind regards,
Team Piglets Pantry

No communication

The actual afternoon teas are great but I have to say the communication from the company is terrible. I tried to cancel one order due to unforeseen circumstances, however after phoning a number of times there was no answer each time! I emailed instead and had no reply to the email. I contacted the company within the terms&conditions to change an order but received no reply until the day the package was handed over to DPD the delivery service. The email I received said they could not cancel as the parcel was with the delivery service. Again I emailed that I wasn’t happy with this and I have yet to receive a reply. Will NOT be ordering from them again.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re really sorry to read this.

We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the afternoon teas themselves, but we fully understand how frustrating it must have been to struggle to reach us and not receive updates in time when trying to amend your order. We appreciate how disappointing this would have felt.

Due to a recent increase in enquiries, we’ve since employed additional team members to support our communications and admin, and this is no longer the experience we want — or expect — our customers to have.

We’re sorry this left such a negative impression, and we hope you feel you can trust us in the future for an improved experience.

Kind regards,
Team Piglets Pantry

Don't even deserve one star

Don't even deserve one star. I had a BuyaGift afternoon tea voucher but there were no places to use in my area so I paid extra & got a Piglets Pantry Afternoon Voucher. Booking didn't work, even though I had correct voucher number, said to just message them with details. I did this, no reply. I used the message service on their Website, no reply. Absolutely awful company - they don't bother to even acknowledge messages let alone reply.

Would have given zero stars if that…

Would have given zero stars if that were an option.

I ordered cakes as a gift and tried to add a gift note during checkout, but the system wouldn’t allow it. The confirmation email said to reply within 24 hours if any changes were needed, so I did exactly that. I replied to the email explaining the issue, sent an additional email, and even tried calling multiple times, but the phone just rang out with no answer.

In the end, the cakes were delivered without the note, which completely defeated the purpose of sending a surprise gift. The recipient had to ask around to find out who sent them, which was quite embarrassing.

I contacted the company afterwards to explain how disappointed I was, but the response made things even worse. Over the phone I was told they were having problems with their online messages, while the email response said they had staff absences and hadn’t been able to provide their usual level of customer service.

Poor communication, poor follow-up, and a very disappointing experience overall. If you’re expecting reliable customer service, I’d suggest looking elsewhere!

Thank you

After receiving a box that didn’t live up to expectations, I have now received a replacement which was 100% better and much appreciated. I appreciate that Piglets have had some challenging months but I can say that things are now looking up. Thank you all

Great value , variety, freshness and taste

We had the Tea for Two sent to as a gift some time ago but we still think about it. There was sufficient quality cakes and savories to last us for three tea times for two. Everything was so fresh and tasty and great variety. Fantastic packaging, everything arrived intact . The pastry on the sausage rolls still flaky. Excellent value now we know the price and would not hesitate to recommend

Do not recommend …

I ordered some cookies as I was gifted a buy a gift voucher and decided to order some cookies ready for my birthday. When purchasing I thought they were expensive £35 for 6 cookies. I had to pay postage on top.
They did arrive on the day they were supposed to and we’re wrapped in a big box with a cool pack, however they were put together in the box on top/next to each other so they were stuck together. For £35+ I would definitely not recommend purchasing from this company.
